The whole point of sonames is to avoid all these problems and let the computer find them for you :( It's a bit like saying "oh, you tried to upgrade, yeah, that's kind of risky, it's always better to wipe and re-install from scratch". Not blaming you for the message, clearly it's the correct state of affairs, just complaining that it shouldn't be :)

If you get é forever after typing right alt once (which indeed is what I saw), that's a showstopper bug that will stop me from upgrading. If you were stuck with typing é even though you weren't touching the alt key anymore, how did you recover? > > Good guess, I do have a trackpoint (thinkpad) > > I am not going to tell you how stupid it is to change this suddenly since > > it's not E's fault, but this is ridiculous :( > > (because you know, no one uses the middle button on linux) > > I agree, it's a frustrating default for unix-like WM + trackpoint users. > libinput expects the desktop env to give the user config control for the > input devices.

Understood, thanks for that piece of info, I'd likely have had a hard time finding it without your help. Thanks, Marc -- "A mouse is a device used to point at the xterm you want to type in" - A.S.R.
